Well we aren't going anywhere today except in the hallway. His blood cultures have shown no growth after 24hours but we have to wait for the 48 hours to see and then they continue to grow for up to a week. The culture of his abscess came back as strep so she wants to wait another day and get more IV antibiotics on board before he goes home. His jaw has went down but still trying to find an oral surgeon that can get him in to drain this thing. Dr Hanes said she had a drill and all she would have to do is drill a hole in the jaw bone:/ I think he would go for that! The surgeon came by at 1 and said he would do the biopsy between 3 and 4. All we have to do is go to his office. This is for the area on his left upper chest. It has grown in size from 7cmX7cm to 9cmX8cm in just one month. They call it an organized hematoma but dr. Lee the surgeon wants to make sure. If he aspirates old blood then it's a hematoma if no blood then he will send it off to see just what it is. His spirits are very very low, he isn't fond of hospitals or doctors.
Thanks for all the prayers, I have been reading the blog and facebook to him, between the two there are a lot of people praying.
Roger and Juanita Keeney came by and Susan Hutsenpiller and Emma, that cheered him up. Emma is learning how to tell knock knock jokes so that was fun:)

We got word this morning that Leroy Crane died last night. He was past 90! He got short of breath and went to the ER and that's where he died. He married me and Danny almost 27 years ago! He called me when mommy and daddy both died and sent cards.

Michelle I feel like singing that song the two guys used to sing on Hee Haw, If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. And from the sound of things there it's true about what they say about Germans, they know how to handle their beer-or maybe they just know how to drink it.

Teresa I tried to go to that website and vote but I couldn't find your yard, I searched for the name and still couldn't get it.

Thanks again for all the prayers!
Love to all
